e-mail from active JW/my letters are working
by dawg ini just recived an e-mail from an active jw friend of mine, he was replying to the utube e-mail i sent him on the molestation cover ups.
he knows the jw are shite, but he's conflicted becasue all his family is still in.
it made me sad, he's young and knows its shite but doen't know what to do.

The irony of a message from my Mother regarding Christmas
by HalfWayThere inknowing that its almost december, and that i will be putting up a tree, my mum told me today that she doesn't want to be invited over to my place while any decorations are up.
she later sent me the following sms: (edited for grammer & spelling).
"i wanted to say that, as you know all the rubbish about santa claus, when you have kids will you allow them to be deceived with this lie?

There is so much pain...
by justhuman ini don't know why things in life happened...i don't know why i was born in the most destructive cults ever existed.
my childhood was so miserable...is not nice to see the other kids at your age celebrating xmas and birthdays and other holidays.
my whole world was somewhere between kindom hall and field service with my pioneers parents.. i hardly finished high school because i was supposed to live in the generation that by no means will pass way.

Wanted to say hi
by digderidoo ini used to visit this site on many occasions a few years ago.
in fact i was just lookin at some old posts which were dated back to 2001. doesn't time fly?.
this site really was a tool to help me comin to terms with myself as an individual, but at the same time there were many people who were angry with the wbts which in turn made myself angry with certain elements of the organisation and the way i was brought up.. i have not gone back to any meetings since i last visited although just lately i have considered the spiritual aspect to life and have been waying up the pros and cons of attending a meeting.

hardest conversation of my life
by metaspy inmoments ago, i talked to my mom.. i told her that i was taking some time off from going to meetings and service.. the conversation went down hill from there.. as her usual she just dismissed my reasons as if they meant nothing.. i pointed to the child molestations as my main reason for leaving.. "you are being over-sensitive", "jehovah takes care of things in his own time", "rely on jehovah".
those were the catch phrases of the conversation.. a new one was: "what have you been reading?".
i have a hard time standing up to my mother.
